On my way back from birding City Field (or Seedeaters paradise I call it) I
stopped at my son's on Silverwood Drive, off Kearney Lake Road.  I was
surprised to see some sea urchin like seed pods being blown about. I was
even more surprised to find that they belonged to an American Chestnut Tree
in a neighbours yard.  I know we had a couple of these at Uniacke House that
escaped the blight, but hadn't heard of other survivors. Are they as rare
here as I assumed?
